One 2012 Texas Primary Election in May Instead of Two (March and May) Would Devastate TX Presidential Vote

I previously wrote an article stating that the Texas Primary Elections will likely be split with one in March and the other in May. This is what the Texas Republican Party and the AG argued for.

Not everyone likes that idea though and there are many who want only one Primary election date, including both Democrats and A good number of Republican State Senators and Texas Congressmen.

We will find out soon from the San Antonio Federal Court whether we will have two Texas Primaries (one in March and One in May) of whether ALL the Primary Elections in Texas will be pushed back to a later day, likely May.

Having only one primary election instead of two would certainly push back the Texas Primary election till at least May.

I certainly understand some of the reasons for not wanting to have a split Primary, including the extra costs and confusion. I also completely respect the opinions of the State Senators and Congressmen who are for just one later primary date. I do have concerns that this later primary election will devastate the Texas Vote in the Presidential Primary Election.

A Later Primary Would Give Texas No Say in the Republican Presidential Primary Race

A HUGE drawback of pushing back all the primary Elections in Texas would be that it would hurt the ability of Texas to choose the next Republican Presidential Candidate in what would be the biggest election against the Democrats in the History of America.

Right now, Texas is in position to have a major say in the Republican Presidential Primary election. A later primary Election would give Texas nearly no chance of having a major impact on who the Republican Presidential Candidate will be.

The RNC made a rule that if certain states had their primary Elections before March 2012 and February 2012, then those state would lose HALF of their Presidential Primary Delegates. Well, most of the states that have primary elections before Texas have not complied with this rule and therefore those States will lose half of their Republican Presidential Primary Election Delegate Votes.

A Candidate needs 1214 Delegates in order to have a majority of the Republican Presidential Primary Delegates and win the Republican Nomination.

As is stands, at the end of February 2012, and going into the March Texas Primary Election, there will only have been 87 Delegates Republican Presidential Delegates Selected (after the penalties)

Texas Has 155 Presidential Primary Delegates!

With 155 Delegates, A Texas Presidential Primary Election in March could COMPLETELY alter the Republican Presidential Race with Texas getting to pick the leader

On the other hand, a Presidential Primary Election in May would give Texas very little say in the Republican Presidential Race because many more delegates will have been selected and the media will likely have already decided who the leader is by that point in time.

We will find out soon from the San Antonio Federal Judges whether we will have two Texas Primaries (one in March and One in May) of whether ALL the Primary Elections in Texas will be pushed back to a later day, likely May.

“Crips” Gang Puts out Hit to Kill Any U.S. Soldier in Uniform. Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma on Alert

Soldiers in Oklahoma and in states bordering Oklahoma (Missouri and Texas) have been on alert after the Crips put out a “hit” out for all Crips Members to shoot any U.S. soldier in uniform on sight.

That’s right, U.S. Soldiers are being targeted right here on U.S. soil by an American gang (un-American gang is really a better description of this race based gang)

In Late September 2011 there was a home invasion in Oklahoma. Black members of the "107 Hoover Crips" were shot and it is suspected that the home invaders were members of the military based at Fort Sill, OK.

In retaliation, the Crips have put out a hit to kill ANY U.S. Soldier in Uniform on sight. That’s right, any U.S. soldier is threatened to be killed even if they had nothing to do with the invasion. I guess I am not surprised. They are a violent gang so they probably do not have standards about who they kill. They kill people just for wearing the color red for crying out loud.

Security memos were sent to military units in several states including Oklahoma and Texas (Military Bases, Reserves and National Guard Units)

These memos advised military members to avoid wearing uniforms in public and to remain vigilant for anything out of the ordinary.

Surprisingly, this “Crips” hit out on US Soldiers has only been reported by ONE media outlet, The Missourian. I am not sure why such a threat that has resulted in soldiers in several states to be put on alert has gone unnoticed by the media.

So next time I’m in a Crips neighborhood, I am going to have to remember not to wear red (the Bloods gang color is red and the Crips color is blue) AND I will remember not to wear a U.S. Military Uniform. What a shame.

I have seen one of the memos myself in an East Texas National Guard Armory, but I certainly am not going to post the military memo that I saw online, even though it is already public knowledge (I don’t want to get in trouble for posting a military security memo) Lucky for me, I do not have to be the one to post the memo online because one worried military wife ALREADY posted one of the Security Threat Memos online for all to see on a military wife forum, Solo-Ops Military Wives Survival Forums.

The following is the security memo that has been posted on this Military Wives Forum and is now public information:

the following info is old proposition voting info from the May 2012 Texas Election

 
Every 2 years there is a Republican Primary Election in Texas. On the Republican Primary ballot are propositions that the ENTIRE State of Texas votes on if they vote in the Texas Republican Primary. For instance, on the 2010 Primary election ballot there were propositions on the ballot regarding whether or not Texas should require voter id, and also whether or not Texas should require sonograms before abortions. The Republican voters in Texas approved both of those propositions and the Texas Legislature went on to pass laws similar to those propositions.

Last month I sent out an email asking all fellow Republicans to tell me what propositions that they think should be on the Primary ballot in 2012. I got over 50 responses with many good proposition ideas. I sent those ideas to my fellow SREC members.

On December 3^rd, 2011, the State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) voted to determine what propositions should be placed on the 2012 Texas Republican Primary Ballot.

There were MANY great ideas but there are a limited number of propositions that can be on the ballot.

Below are the 4 Ballot Propositions that were approved by the SREC to be placed on the 2012 Texas Republican Primary Election Ballot.

This is what you will see when you go to vote. The SREC also passed a 5^th ballot proposition regarding redistricting, but that proposition might not need to be on the Primary Ballot now that the Redistricting battle is in the US Supreme Court.

Ballot propositions adopted at the December 3 SREC meeting

SCHOOL CHOICE:

The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of the bureaucracy, through a program which allows parents the freedom to choose their child's school, public or private, while also saving significant taxpayer dollars. Yes or No.

REPEALING OBAMACARE:

Congress should immediately repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (otherwise known as Obamacare) and reject the rationing of healthcare by government or the intrusion by government into the doctor - patient relationship. Yes or No.

PUBLIC PRAYER

Government should be prohibited from restricting the content of public prayer. Yes or No.

BALANCED BUDGET / COMBINING GOVERNMENT GROWTH
Out of control spending should be stopped at all levels of federal and state government through constitutional amendments limiting any increase in government spending to the combined increase of population and inflation without voter approval.  Yes or No.

Texas Primary Elections Likely to be in March & May After Supreme Court Stops Unconstitutional Court Drawn Redistricting Maps

Update: Federal Court has Ordered the Texas Republican Primary election to be on just one date on April 3rd, 2012. Click Here to read more

Also, at the bottom of this article you can read an Excellent, In-Depth Explanation of the Supreme Court Stay emailed to me from State Senator Robert Nichols

The US Supreme Court has granted a stay requested by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott and Governor Rick Perry along with other state officials. The stay blocks Texas from using the maps drawn by the lower Federal Court in San Antonio, TX. This Federal Court re-drew the maps for Texas in response to race based lawsuits from Liberal Democrat groups who cannot get the people to vote for them so they try to get into office via Activist Judges.

This Stay is GREAT news for Texas. The Constitution of the United States should just be thrown in the trash if 2 judges in San Antonio are able to draw the voting maps for the entire State of Texas. The United States Constitution says that the ELECTED Representatives in the State Legislature of Texas are the people who are supposed to draw the new voting maps. The court drawn maps represented the greatest attack against Texas and The Constitution since, well, since I can ever remember. Two unelected judges should not and cannot draw the maps for Texas. That is NOT their job nor do they have the authority to do it. The Supreme Court has taken the extraordinary step of granting a Stay to stop the court drawn maps. This shows that the Supreme Court believes there are serious problems with what is going on.

These court drawn maps not only went against the Constitution and the Sovereignty of Texas, but they also were illegal in many ways. The lines in the court drawn maps irresponsibly cut through communities and discriminatorily used race as the sole basis of where the lines were drawn. The court drawn maps created districts that had significant differences in population therefore creating districts where one person’s vote in one district was stronger than one person’s vote in another district.

So What Does This Mean for Texas Elections?

Texas Will Likely Have TWO Primary Elections in 2012. One in March and One in May

It is not official that Texas will have two primary elections in 2012, but I am positive that this will happen. The Court Drawn Maps being fought in court only involve the Texas Congressional, State Senate, and State Representative maps. The Supreme Court will not be hearing arguments on these Redistricting Maps until January 9th, 2012. This makes it impossible for these three Primary Races to be held in March. The Congressional, State Rep, and State Senate Primary Elections will likely be pushed back until May so that those maps can be figured out in a Supreme Court Battle. The most likely date in May will be May 22nd 2012. May 22nd is already scheduled as the Texas Primary Election Runoff date so the State is already prepared to do a Primary Election on that date. It is a couple weeks after the Texas Local Elections in May so the Local elections will get a boost in publicity, but there will not be a shortage of voting machines because of the 2 week difference in these May Elections
All the other Primary Elections will still be able to be held in March. This includes all the other Primary races like the Presidential Primary election, US Senate, state wide positions like Railroad Commissioner, State Board of Education, and the County level Primary Elections.

All Candidates running for Congress, State Representative and State Senate should just hold tight and wait until the Supreme Court makes a ruling because we will not know how these districts will look yet. All voters should also hold tight because you do not know what district you will be in until after this is resolved.

All other Primary races are still a GO for March so let’s all not lose focus on the March elections because there are very important races like President and US Senate. You know, having two primary election dates this year might be a good thing. There are so many important political races that it is hard to know who is running for what. Splitting up the races into two different elections might be better than having just one big overwhelming ballot. Plus, the local races in the May election will see possibly the biggest turnout in all of history because of the addition of the Congressional, State Rep, and State Senate Primary Elections so close to the local elections. So if you think you will be able to just fly under the radar running for School Board in May or trying to pass a tax increasing bond in May, think again! The typically low turnout May election will have a HUGE turnout and these local elections will see a record number of voters and will garner more publicity and community interest because of the primary elections that will also be in May.

In a statement sent in to me by e-mail, State Senator Robert Nichols gives an in-depth explanation of a Supreme Court Stay (Nichols said he did not write this but he did send it to me and it is unknown who wrote it):

Texas election maps blocked, for now...

The Supreme Court, working late on a Friday, agreed to rule on the constitutionality of three redistricting plans for the two houses of the Texas legislature and its 36-member U.S. House of Representatives delegation, and put on hold temporarily a U.S. District Court’s interim maps. The Court ordered expedited briefing, and set a hearing on the cases forJan. 9 at 1 p.m. The Justices’ action gave Texas much of what its lawyers had sought in their challenge to the three-judge trial court’s temporary maps, which were to be used for the 2012 election cycle. The Court’s order is here. It raises the strong possibility of a major new ruling on the power of federal judges to draw up redistricting plans while a state legislature’s own maps are under challenge in court.

Although the state had initially sought only a stay of the temporary redistricting plans, it suggested as an alternative that the Court take on the cases itself, and issue a prompt ruling. That is what the Justices agreed to do, putting the cases on its docket for review as 11-713 (the Texas state house case), 11-714 (the Texas state senate case), and 11-715 (the congressional delegation case). What the Court did not do was order any immediate change in the way Texas candidates go about signing up to run in the 2012 primary, now set forMarch 6. Cases 11-713 and 11-715 go by the same title, Perry, et al., v. Perez, et al., and case 11-714 is titled Perry, et al., v. Davis, et al.

Candidates began filing for seats in the legislature and in the House of Representatives on Nov. 28, and the filing period now in effect was to continue until Dec. 15. Friday’s order made no immediate change in that. It was unclear whether the filing period is now to be interrupted until after the cases are decided, and, if not, what districts would actually be used for purposes of candidates’ filing in the meantime. The three maps drawn by the state legislature earlier this year supposedly cannot be used, because their validity under federal voting rights law and the Constitution is now under review by a different U.S. District Court, in Washington. And the interim districts crafted by the District Court in San Antonio cannot be used because they are now stayed by the Justices’ order.

The Court set this briefing schedule: it consolidated the cases, ordered Texas officials and the challengers to the legislature’s maps to file opening briefs simultaneously on Dec. 21. Reply briefs from both sides are due Jan. 3. The oral argument on Jan. 9 will be for one hour only.

Stay applications such as the ones that put these cases before the Court are usually only for temporary remedies, and, most often, seek simply to maintain the status quo while the underlying decision at issue is reviewed. The Court, this time, converted the applications into what it calls “jurisdictional statements,” which is the label it uses for cases that are appealed directly to the Justices from a three-judge District Court. Federal law provides that challenges to redistricting cases are to be heard initially by three-judge District Courts, with direct appeals to the Supreme Court, bypassing the usual transit through a federal Circuit Court of Appeals.

By granting review, the Court, of course, gave no indication of how it would rule on the constitutionality of the District Court’s interim plans. But the Court appeared to have taken seriously and heard perhaps somewhat sympathetically the Texas lawyers’ argument that a 1982 Supreme Court precedent — Upham, et al., v. Seamon, et al. — strictly limits the power of a federal court to craft its own interim redistricting plan that deviates greatly from one drafted by a state legislature. In the San Antonio District Court, the dissenting judge in the 2-1 rulings at issue had argued that the Upham decision barred a court-ordered map that strayed so far from what the state legislature had drawn.

Because the three cases reached the Justices as stay applications, they did not spell out specifically the legal or constitutional questions being laid before the Court. But it does appear, at least at this stage, that the Court will only be ruling on the validity of the San Antonio court’s decision to draw up interim maps of its own. No lower court has yet ruled on the underlying question of whether any of the districts — for the legislature or for the House delegation — actually violate federal law or the Constitution.

Because the issue of federal courts’ power to craft interim redistricting plans usually arises only after each ten-year federal Census, there are not a great many precedents on how wide that judicial authority reaches. The state said in one of its applications that the drafting of a court’s interim plan may occur only infrequently, but “even once in a decade is too frequent for states to sacrifice their sovereignty in this way or for courts to be put in the untenable position of drawing political lines from scratch.”

While Friday’s order seems to put a hold on further proceedings in the San Antonio court’s review of the Texas legislature’s three maps, there was nothing in the order that would appear to have any effect on the continuing review of the validity of those plans by the District Court sitting in Washington. The Justice Department is taking part in the Washington case, and is making significant challenges there to the maps the legislature drew for the Texas house and for the House of Representatives delegations. Those maps, as well as the one for the Texas state senate, are also under broad challenge by minority and civil rights groups.

Texas Town Fights for Nativity, Tebow’s Faith Mocked as Perry Vows to End War Against Religion

Rick Perry came out with an ad this week pledging to end Obama’s War Against Religion. This could not have come at a more perfect time. There really is a war against religion in America. The war is specifically against Christianity and not really against all religion in general. For instance, Tim Tebow is a Quarterback in the NFL (Denver Broncos). Tebow openly practices his Christian faith and he was even featured in a pro-life Super Bowl ad last year. When he makes a touchdown he kneels down and says a prayer. This has been called “Tebowing.” Just last week, Detroit Lions player Tony Scheffler made a touchdown against the Broncos, and after he made the touchdown, he kneeled down to mock the prayer that Tebow does. If Tebow was a Muslim and an NFL player were to mock his Muslim prayer then the world would be outraged. There would be apologies from the NFL and the Liberal Media would blast the player who mocked the Muslim religion. Tebow’s Christian prayer was mocked but the NFL and the Liberal media have not said a darn thing. This is hypocrisy. You see, the war against religion in America is really only a war against one type of religion, Christianity.

Texas is getting Full Brunt of These Attacks – Fight over Nativity Scene in Athens, TX

These attacks are not only happening in the liberal northern states. Texas is getting the full brunt of these attacks! Earlier this year, Texas Republican Congressman Culberson stood up and fought the VA and the Obama Administration for restricting Christian Prayers at the funerals of fallen soldiers at the Houston National Cemetery. It was not that many years ago that Ted Cruz (now running for US Senate) fought for the right of the State of Texas to display the Ten Commandments at the State Capitol in Austin, TX. Cruz went all the way to the Supreme Court and won.

Now, just this week, Todd Starnes posted a story on Fox News about an East Texas town that is currently fighting a liberal, anti-religious organization over a Nativity that is being displayed on the lawn of the Henderson County Courthouse in Athens, TX.

These anti-Christian liberals do not care about American history. They do not care about the Constitution nor do they understand the meaning of the First Amendment. They simply hate Christianity and they want to destroy it and remove every mention of Christianity from America. They act as if someone of another faith will not be able to go to the courthouse to get a new vehicle registration simply because of a nativity in the lawn. That Nativity does not restrict anyone of another faith, or someone of no faith. Everyone is offered the same services by the county regardless of their beliefs.  It might “offend” someone who hates Jesus that there is a nativity scene at the courthouse, but the Constitution does not protect anyone from being offended.  This liberal organization attacking the Texas Nativity does not even care about Texas because the organization is in Wisconsin.

This story really hits home for me because my brother in law went to College with Nathan Lorik, the pastor of First Baptist Church in Athens, TX, who is fighting to keep the nativity scene.

Rally to Defend the Traditional Nativity Scene in Athens, TX - December 17th, 2012 at 1:00 PM at the County Courthouse

Lorick, and a group of other pastors in Henderson County, are organizing a large rally to defend the traditional Nativity from an attack by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

“It’s time that Americans stand up and take America back for the faith that we were founded upon,” said Nathan Lorick. “We’re going to stand up and fight for this.”

Henderson County Commissioner Joe Hall called the attack “stupid” and said he’s going to do whatever it takes to stop the atheists.

“I’ll tell you this — I’m going to fight this until hell freezes over,” Hall told Fox News & Commentary. “I hope and pray that we leave it up.”

Urge your Representative to protect the symbols and traditions of Christmas

Representative Doug Lamborn (R-CO), a Member of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, has introduced a resolution (H.Res.489) which expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the symbols and traditions of Christmas should be protected for use by those who celebrate Christmas.

The resolution specifically points out that the House of Representatives:

(1) recognizes the importance of the symbols and traditions of Christmas;
(2) strongly disapproves of attempts to ban references to Christmas; and
(3) expresses support for the use of these symbols and traditions by those who celebrate Christmas.

New Perry TV Ad: I’ll End Obama’s War on Religion (Video)

Texas Governor Rick Perry has a new ad that will be hitting the airwaves in Iowa. The ad is titled “Strong.” This ad goes on the attack against President Obama. It is one of the most aggressive ads of the Presidential Primary Election.

Rick Perry has a very clear message in ad: “I’ll End Obama’s War on Religion and I’ll Fight against Liberal Attacks on our Religious Heritage”

This ad will greatly help Rick Perry. Now that many of the early bumps in the primary are over, voters will start to look at the records and experience of candidates to determine who they will vote for. This is where Perry will shine because of his strong conservative record. The ad does not attack any fellow Republicans. The ad is focused directly on President Obama. The ad deals with an issue (the War on Religion) that has really caused Christian Conservatives to stand up and fight back against Obama’s radical agenda. Christian American’s are tired of seeing special interest groups get special rights and privileges while the rights and privileges of Christians are being taken away. Obama has done everything from restricting prayer at soldier’s funerals and restricting bible verses in the Air Force to refusing to follow the Constitution by upholding the laws passed by Congress like the Defense of Marriage Act.

Earlier this year, Rick Perry led a Prayer Rally in Houston, TX called “The Response.” This is something that the Founding Fathers of America would likely have also attended.

License Plates in Texas Not Required Due To Mistake – Choose Life Plates Now Available

License Plates in Texas are Now Optional Thanks to a Mistake by the State Legislature - Texas Legislature mistakenly removes penalty for failing to display a license plate.

House Bill 2357 was passed into law during the 2011 Texas Legislative Session

According to TheNewspaper.com, the new law was a complete update of the motor vehicle statutes.

As part of the update, the new law deleted the license plate statute, returning parts of it to Section 502.473 and 504.943. In moving around the legal language, the bill went through the entire legislative process without anybody noticing that a key line was deleted without providing a replacement: "An offense under this section is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $200."

Without a penalty for driving without a license plate, it is not clear whether police officers or courts would have the authority to impose a punishment on drivers who chose not to display license plates or registration stickers, especially in jurisdictions that still use red light cameras. Driving with a false or altered plate remains a misdemeanor, however. Lawmakers will not have a chance to remedy their mistake until January 8, 2013 when the legislature reconvenes, unless Governor Perry calls a special session specifically to address the license plate issue.

Texas Choose Life License Plates Now Available

Click Here to order you Choose life License Plates!

According to LifeNews.com, Motorists in Texas now have the opportunity to purchase Choose Life license plates, the sales of which will benefit efforts to help women find abortion alternatives and promote adoption.

During the 82nd Regular Session, the Legislature overwhelmingly passed Senate Bill 257, authored by State Senator John Carona (R-Dallas) and sponsored by State Representative Larry Phillips (R-Sherman), to allow the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TXDMV) to create the plate. On May 17, Gov. Rick Perry signed the bill into law.

During the debate in the legislature, Rep. Jessica Farrar, a Democrat from Houston, went as far as trying to change the plates from Choose Life to Choose Adoption because she didn’t like the pro-life message they send, calling it “seriously flawed.”

In 2009, the Texas Senate approved the bill but Transportation Committee Chairman Joe Pickett, an El Paso Democrat, refused to allow a committee vote on the bill.

TX Comptroller Susan Combs Says She Stopped Govt from Stealing Clouds & Monitoring Cracked Eggs

As Agriculture Commissioner in Texas, Susan Combs says that she was faced with having to solve the problem of people’s Clouds being stolen by the government. She also says she stopped the government from paying people to go into a store and look for cracked eggs.

No kidding!

Susan Combs talked to me at the December 2011 SREC meeting and explained what happened.

In the Video below, Susan Combs Discusses Cloud Stealing and Cracked Eggs

Sometimes you just can’t make this stuff up. Haha.

Ok, here is a summary of the above video:

Back when Combs was the Agriculture Commissioner, The State of Texas was spending 5 million dollars to drop goo from planes into clouds (cloud seeding). This might make the cloud stop and rain. That did not sit well with towns in Texas near where this cloud seeding was going on. Susan Combs said that these neighboring towns came to her and they were very unhappy that the town beside them had stolen their clouds.

Susan Combs did not want to be in the middle of towns blaming each other for stealing clouds so Combs ended the government funding of “cloud stealing”. I mean how would she be able to regulate cloud stealing? Do you have a season for it? Do you regulate cloud size so that you do not kill baby clouds? This is too funny!

The other issues that Susan Combs discussed with me was the issue of the State of Texas paying people to go into grocery stores and open the egg cartons and see if there were any cracked eggs.

 

Combs just could not understand why they State of Texas was paying people to do that because it is not a health issue and someone who is buying eggs can open the carton up themselves and see if any of the eggs are broken.

She tried to stop this practice while the Democrats were in control of the Texas House of Representatives but she could not.

When the Republicans took over with Tom Craddick in charge, Combs was able to end this silly waste of Texas Taxpayer Funds.

US Senate Legalizes Sex with Animals (Beastiality) in Military - Obama Fights Aids but Ignores Homosexuality Spreads Aids

The National Defense Authorization Act is already coming under fire because the bill will allow the President to use the military in to detain Americans on American soil without a trial. I am completely in support of detaining terrorist that we have caught on the battlefield, but detaining Americans on American soil with no trial is just outrageous! Every US citizen should be given due process and a trial.

That is not the only outrageous part of the NDAA. The NDAA also now legalizes bestiality!

Members of the military are pawns of political experiments. Instead of focusing on being a well oiled fighting machine without political distractions, the military has to wade through political experiments hurled their way. Soldiers are told to be completely uniform with no distractions. When politicians want to push a homosexual agenda they make straight soldiers on the battlefield shower and sleep with gay guys who may be sexually attracted to them. I guess there is no point in having separate men and women showers right? The repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was just the beginning. It was commonly understood that the repeal was a way to open the door to pushing other social experiments on soldiers when politicians know they cannot push these things on the general population. You see, soldiers are looked down upon if they complain. Soldiers are taught to follow orders. So where regular Americans would not allow something to happen, soldiers just have to take it.

For instance, the Defense of Marriage Act defines marriage as between one man and one woman. Well, now that gays are allowed in the Military, the politicians are further experimenting on soldiers by trying to get around the Defense of Marriage Act by allowing gay soldiers to get married. Next thing they will do is force other states into recognizing these gay soldier marriages when the soldier is stationed in that state.

The United States Senate (Including most Republicans) has just passed a bill (the National Defense Authorization Act) which strips away the military ban on Sodomy and Bestiality, according to CNS News.

The National Defense Authorization Act includes a provision to repeal Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).

Article 125 of the UCMJ makes it illegal to engage in both sodomy with humans and sex with animals.

It states: "(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense. (b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

Wow, sex with animals now in the Military.

I do not hate homosexuals. I believe that God loves everyone and wants us all to come to him and turn away from our sins, including turning from homosexuality. Although I do not hate homosexuals and I want them to turn to God, it is imperative for America to stand up for the Christian, Moral foundation of America. This includes standing up for one of the most sacred institutions of all time, the Institution of Marriage. As we get away from the principles that America was founded on, the foundation of America begins to erode and America will see more problems. I was very happy to see Presidential hopeful Rick Perry attend a prayer rally, the Response, in Houston earlier this year. Historical Documents show that the Founding Fathers of America would have approved and likely attended this Prayer Rally. I sure hope the next President can stop using the military as pawns in their political agenda.

President Obama Promises to Help Stop Spread of Aids but ignores that Homosexuality is Leading cause of New Aids Cases

President Obama has pledged to do more to fight the spread of aids. This is a noble cause.

The problem is that President Obama, and liberal Democrats, are ignoring the leading cause of new aids cases right here in America.

Although Gay Males in America only represent a small percentage of the entire population, the leading cause of new Aids cases in America are a result of gay males having sex.

When will Obama recognize this as a leading cause of Aids in America? Doesn’t he want to help stop aids?

What is even more disturbing is that this information is being purposely hidden from children in school sex ed. How can kids know how to live healthy if the government does not tell them that being in a gay relationship raises their risk of getting aids?

Even President Obama has appointed a Homosexual Activist to a top post in the Department of Education. Kevin Jennings will oversee “safety” in schools. Maybe Jennings should try teaching students that homosexual sex is not safe considering that Homosexuals make up the majority of new Aids/HIV cases in America each year!

For example, when Texas A&M was considering moving to the SEC, the Texas Legislature (which I am sure had other things on its plate) called a meeting to discuss the issue. That is how influential football and politics are on each other here in Texas
.
There are many reasons why politics plays such a huge role in Texas College Football.

1) Many Texas Politicians went to the big Texas Football Schools like Texas A&M and the University of Texas. When something is going on, like a coaching change, they want to have their say.

2) Money. College Football in Texas brings in lots of cash to the Texas economy. When something involves lots of money in Texas then it is going to involve politics. The move to the SEC will actually bring more money to Texas, in my opinion. Having big football schools like Alabama, LSU, Georgia, etc. coming to play at Texas A&M will bring in an entirely new, and big, source of revenue to the State that the State does not currently get.

3) Big donors have political friends. Big donors help pay for college football needs. When the football team is not doing well then the big donors want to see a change (like a coach getting fired). When a change happens, the big donors want to play a role in deciding how to fix things and who gets hired. They hold this leverage because they give big money to the school and they have big political friends.

It will be interesting to see how backroom Texas politics and money will play a role in the selection of a new coach for A&M.

I recently wrote an article regarding the question of whether or not Texas A&M will fire Mike Sherman after posting a record of only 25 - 25 after 4 seasons. This last season under Sherman was considered as one of the biggest failures in recent history because of the tremendous potential and expectations to start the season. Most of the games lost this year could not be understood. First half double digit leads followed by second half collapses that Sherman could not do anything about.

The wait is over. Earlier today I learned from Texags that Coach Sherman had been fired.

AggieAthletics.com reports that A&M Athletic Director Bill Byrne has not selected an interim coach for the Aggies for the possible bowl game. It is rumored that University of Houston's coach, Kevin Sumlin, might be considered as a possible new coach to lead Aggie Football in the move out of the Big 12 and into a new conference, the SEC (Southeastern Conference).
